FWIW I'm a degen and follow this prop (and many others) weekly. Just FYI, this isn't a coin flip. The movement and price every week on this reeks of known outcome. Dimes doesn't have the inside information, but it's very likely staffers on the production show do. Word leaks, and either they or people they know/tell hammer it. Best to avoid this one.

Truly didn’t think he was a terrible OL coach. But we missed on pretty much every single elite tackle recruit under his watch. Couldn’t close. As a college position coach success is so much about recruiting, and he was frankly a below par recruiter during his tenure at Michigan.

Has nothing to do with sympathy. He's not a hero, he's a victim, and contributing (and more so encouraging others) to a GoFund me because of his actions is honestly ridiculous. Beating up Nassar does nothing to help his daughters recovery, it does nothing to prevent this type of crime from happening again, it just satisfies some temporary emotion that has no beneficial result.

Nassar got the just punishment he deserved of life in prison, there is no need for a raging father to physically attack him. This is not how modern healthy societies function, and it should not be promoted.

Yeah there’s no need for the scorn. I still think Greg Frey is a really good football coach, his system and style was just not a fit for our personnel. He prefers lighter guys who can pull and move, it’s more of a natural fit for a spread system, should transition well with Taggart’s offense. He’s put some lightly recruited linemen in the NFL, and I respect his track record, it just didn’t work for this team, this year.

My only heartburn is we recruited a couple tackles in the Frey mold, who may or may not fit our new running system.

He was never great in coverage, via man coverage, or playing read and react zone as a safety. He's also not big enough to play true LB in the NFL and take on blocks. You almost have to customize your defense to have him play as a hybrid space player with limited coverage responsibilities, but most teams/coordinators wouldn't even consider that.

Love Jabrill, he was a great Wolverine, but he's more of a speciality player in the NFL. I don't see him growing into a real impact high level player, the role is not there to match his skillset/size.

Not usually a successful combo. Email, storage, porn, all of these things tried to protect information and charge for it via paywall.

The vast majority of those models failed, as competitors come into the market and start offering those services cheaper or even free.

Even recruiting sites are feeling the pain. In this case with the Athletic, I don't believe their product is remotely unique or desired enough to justify a paywall, and it will fail miserably once investment dollars dry up.

The big issue is MLS has offered most of our key national team players huge contracts to come back and play in MLS (Bradley, Jozy, Howard, Clint, etc). Have you coincidentally noticed their international level play started tanking upon return?

Our best players NEED to be in Europe. On big clubs, with real managers, playing against the worlds best. The speed and skill is at a different level. Michael Bradley was at his peak when he was playing regularly for Roma. Not in a 3rd tier league. Even successful MLS players from major soccer powers don't even get a sniff for their own national teams (Giovinco, Piatti, Valeri, Jack Harrison). The Italian soccer federation basically came out and said they wouldn't consider any player for the national team who decides to play in MLS.

The best basketball players don't go to Europe, and the best football players don't go to the CFL. It's came a long way but our national team needs to be built from guys playing in the best leagues, not MLS lifers/regulars.

"Shady money". It's a school/apparel company offering kids money to play basketball at a school or sign with a shoe company. Not money from a crackhouse that a drug dealer made selling to kids.

"Using it as an excuse starts them off on a poor path". This comment makes you sound so clueless. When you're poor, you don't have the option many times to be dignified, self-righteous, and make the right decision for a life pathway. You need money for food, bills, utilities, not a fucking life lesson.

I guarantee you're a middle class or higher white guy who has never dealt with ANY of this, so you sit on your high horse and try to spew "advice" for parents to teach their kid not to "break the rules".

Would love to see you in a situation where your family is flat broke and in poverty, somebody offers you or your kid 100k to play bball, and you turn it down because you want to be on the "right path"

You will never make everyone happy, it is impossible. This is the ultimate lose/lose. Some people want all band, some all music, some rap/hip-hip, some current pop, some classic rock, some a combination of all, some nothing.

Most students like current music adding to the experience, most old blues long for 1960 when the band and only the band played after every first down.

The music in the stadium debate is an endless one, with no solution, because everyone wants their own personal music taste exaclty repilicated.

I tend to agree, it's tough to lay 10 with our offensive struggles right now, but they will really have a hard time protecting the QB and they get almost no pressure on opposing QBs (1 sack on the season)

That's fair, but a lot of other college QBs offer you mobility or something on the ground. Speight has good movement in the pocket, but if he's not passing efficiently he really doesn't offer much else.

He needs to be in the 60% range for the offense to be consistnetly effective.

I mean, I think this attitude is a touch casual. The elite tackles don't, the good ones a handful of times per year. He was beat multiple times in the same game pretty clean. He held his own in the run game, but I think the staff did a lot to protect him so it wasn't an ugly performance.

It's not JBB vs Rutgers, but it will be an issue likely all season long.

I don't think you save a guy who is perfectly fit for defending the triple option FB dive and in general causing interior run disruption cause of past injury issues. That will be a game made for his skill set, Air Force isn't a cupcake. Last year they won 10 games and beat Boise State. Under Calhoun (10 years) they've only missed a bowl and won under 6 games once. They've won more games than we have the past 3 years.

But wait........some posters on here have told me cutting the cold is better than manna from heaven, and I've made the biggest mistake of my life by paying an extra $20 a month for legit high quality cable....

The market doesn't change drastically based on one game samples. The GOY (game of the year) line on most offshore betting sites was OSU -7. (6.5 some places). It would be in that range if the game was next week, but I will assume that by end of the season it is closer to Michigan between a PK and +3.

I think the legitimate postgame snowflake threads are fine, and usually contain pretty fun/interesting banter, and of course some hot takes (what better time to dish the takes than when you're still irrationally emotional about the game).

It's the threads the next day or during the week, that people want to post the same thing we have been talking about for 48 hours (or more), but want their take front and center to "look at me, my take is so important and original" (it's not 99% of the time), in their own post.

Think officiating for the Ohio State game, 3 weeks later people were still posting "original takes" and it got so bad Brian had to ban it.

I like the way Frank plays the game, always have. He obviously has some serious anger management issues (shocking he plays a sport where you violenty hit other men for a living), but in the Hoke era where guys like Funchess coasted through games, Frank played his ass off every snap for Michigan.

I'm not saying he's a great person, and he's made a number of mistakes, but if I need to win a football game, I will take guys like him and Lewan all day on my team.

Practice fights happen all the time in training camp. I won't make excuses for his domestic violence incidents, but to crucify him for this is ridiculous. Give me a guy with passion who pushes the limit over a guy who doesn't care any day.
